Featured in the Borkum Museum as a Historical ship with a fascinating past as a cargo and passenger vessel. See photos. Previously moored in Loosdrecht, Netherlands, she was brought over to the UK in 2012. Sympathetically converted by ourselves into a comfortable, stylish home whilst also being maintained as a fully self-sufficient sea-going vessel.

The Mars has a rich history and is a seaworthy sailing ship. Built in 1924, this coastal ship from Groningen has sailed extensively along the Hanseatic route to the Baltic Sea and the English coast.
